How to Make Pepper Chicken Fettuccini Toss

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining and keep fettuccine warm.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces), 1 medium onion (sliced), 1 red bell pepper (sliced), 1 green bell pepper (sliced), and 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced).
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Gradually add reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Stir in 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  8. Serve immediately and garnish with extra basil if desired.
